I have just taken on a brand-new role with a friendly and modern accountancy practice based near Hampton, Peterborough, who are looking for a part-time Payroll and Bookkeeping Assistant to join their team as soon as possible.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience in both payroll and bookkeeping who enjoys working in a supportive, client-focused environment. My client is open to structuring this role as either one full‑time position or splitting responsibilities across two part‑time hires on either school hours or fixed days.
Key Responsibilities
* Processing weekly and monthly payrolls for a range of clients
* Preparing and submitting CIS returns
* Maintaining client bookkeeping records
* Preparing and submitting VAT returns
* Liaising with clients to gather financial information and resolve queries
* Supporting the wider team with general accounts administration
About You
* Previous experience in payroll and bookkeeping within an accountancy practice or similar environment
* Confident with VAT returns and CIS submissions
* Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
* Comfortable communicating with clients and colleagues and building relationships
* Ability to manage workload and meet deadlines independently
Working Arrangements
* Office‑based during probation period
* 37.5 hours per week as a full‑time role or potentially a job‑share as part‑time
* School hours will certainly be considered for the right candidate
* Some working‑from‑home flexibility may be available after successful completion of probation
* For part‑time roles, home working may be more limited to ensure team collaboration
Benefits
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (pro rata for part‑time employees)
* Private healthcare (following probation)

Location: Edge of Peterborough (office-based with some flexibility post‑probation)
Salary: 29,000 - 30,000 FTE
